Soliton Enters into Distribution Agreement with Aesthetic Solutions, Inc. for Initial Commercial Launch of its RAP Device

HOUSTON, Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Soliton, Inc., (Nasdaq: SOLY) ("Soliton" or the "Company"), a medical device company with a novel and proprietary aesthetic platform technology, today announced it has entered into a distribution and sales agreement with Aesthetic Solutions, Inc. to distribute its Rapid Acoustic Pulse (RAP) device and advanced design cartridges during the initial U.S. commercial launch, targeted for the first half of 2021.

Soliton, Inc. is a medical device company with a novel and proprietary platform technology licensed from MD Anderson. The Company’s first planned commercial product is designed to use rapid pulses of designed acoustic shockwaves in conjunction with existing lasers to accelerate the removal of unwanted tattoos (RAP device). In addition, higher energy versions of acoustic pulse devices are in early stages of development for potential stand-alone treatment of cellulite and other indications. (PRNewsfoto/Soliton, Inc.)

The team at Aesthetic Solutions, Inc. will strategically focus on and target placement of the RAP device in physician practices that currently treat high volumes of patients for tattoo removal and cellulite reduction, upon FDA clearance. Their team will sell and service the RAP devices until Soliton's direct sales force is fully established for the expected national rollout.

As previously announced under Soliton's COVID-19 Adjusted Commercialization Strategy, the RAP device is planned to incorporate both the tattoo removal indication and the cellulite reduction indication, pending FDA clearance of the cellulite indication.
